I have sent the oil tank off to be nickel plated today. I thought it would look different and a bit more classy than the usual paint job. Have fitted the motor just to make sure there’s no hitches later when I install it permanently on the freshly painted frame. I had to remove the heads to get it into the frame. (god its heavy!). I was missing some fender fastenings and spacers too, so these are being sent from Southern Motorcycles, Ive also decided to fit a rear fender support (round bar) this will give an ‘old school’ look, and I will also get this plated. It will give more support if I decide to fit a pillion pad and get Fran on the back!

Have Ebayed my tank bib. Its black stitched leather (will run around the fuel filler and down the tank) to match the seat. A tank bib is basically a protector to stop scratches, but most of all I think they look cool. Ive also located some tyre valve caps with the Harley logo.
